Farers of sea and land: Got them wisdoms out for GOOD

Who know, if that dentist back home hadn't carelessness left a non-dissolvable stitch in my mouth, I would never have fussed about 'something' being there in the back where I had oral surgery... Nath would never have called me a hypercondriac only to take me to the dentist to find out we were right about the left behind stitch and to find out that about a quarter/ third of said removed wisdom tooth was left behind in the now relatively healed wound space.

In a way, I suppose I am lucky for her damned double whammy.

Yesterday, I had intravenous sedation. I laid on my back, had a velvet blanket warm me and watched Adele at a concert (?) from a screen above me while I drifted in and out of reality. What was really 45 minutes seemed like 5 to me and it was, dare I say it.. a pleasant and smooth experience. Thank God! I need to get over this experience already. Think I've said that ten thousand times now.

Nath took a half day cause I needed someone to take care of me for at least eight hours after. We agreed that I can only milk this woe for a week and he learned that making jokes about my whale-like face was too early on day 1. Although, if you look at day 2 pictures... you'll see I've really swollen up! I even have all the teeth they took out but I'll spare you that. Hmmm, so where that partial tooth was left behind had caused an infection, naturally. It got treated and I should be fine. This would have been quite grave if it weren't for that left behind stitch hint. Sigh.

Overall, amazing dental care here so far. While I wouldn't disregard any future dental care from home, I guess I'll always be touchy and sensitive about my teeth. A tad paranoid. ): If only circumstances were different and my usual dentist was free, perhaps none of this would be. Oh well! It has passed. Onwards. Enjoy the laugh!

DAY 1: In full grandma garb <3 Oo and food too?
